I don't know why you say covid will lead to world war 3, so I'll ignore that. On your other points, I do think how we prioritize $ won't change. It's a shame but the system will always help the man with the cash mentality.

Most people I see wearing masks on buses and in public have material/washable masks. I think it's people like me who only wear them at work or occasionally have Disposable masks as they ate very expensive to wear after a while.
Then why are these blue disposable masks becoming a problem in the environment if almost no one is wearing them?
And by the way most of the masks I see discarded all over the place are these blue plastic ones. I guess thats because people aren't going to throw their material/washable masks on the ground because they cost serious money.
I'm one person on bus, and yes most who I see wearing them these days are the material kind even in the streets. At work the employed people all seem to have material masks, the people staying no, they all wear the blue masks. This is just one place of work. So blue masks out way the material in this workplace. I've thrown away I would say close to one hundred blue masks, I'm one person.

@Megycal - what a good idea to wash material first, would never have thought about shrinkage.
@C a z - I haven't noticed that here in my city masks littering the streets. That could because it wasn't mandatory to wear them everywhere, the only place it was mandatory was and I believe it still could be (not sure) is on public transport. When buses were supplying them I would wear one, keep same one for a while in plastic bag to reuse as bus trips are short. These days they don't supply them so I rarely wear one, buses don't force you to wear them. From my calculations most passengers seem to wear them (material), which is good.

We've been here before. You're fully entitled to have the beliefs that you have but continually posting the same things, 10, 20, 30 times over during the course of this multi-thread discussion is as I've said before, just disruptive.
With billions of people on this planet, we all have our own views and what we think should and shouldn't have happened with the handling of this pandemic so far and into the future. I personally would have loved to have had a really solid and extended lockdown early on to wipe this out, but what's happened has happened.
Simply locking 100% of everything down, all international travel whether it be land, air & sea is not feasible. There's trade, critical supply chains requiring at a bare minimum human beings to carry out those roles to maintain very critical infrastructure nationally and internationally.
We're long past the point of 'eradicating' Covid. We now have vaccines which are categorically and statistically so far doing extremely well at keeping people out of hospital and from dying, allowing us to return to some level of normality gradually with a much lower level of risk to our health. That much is clear and that is our new reality, whether we as individuals accept that or not, like that or not.
